Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) When refusing an applicant's direct request for a recommendation, the message should tactfully avoid hurting the reader's feelings. It can include positive comments about the reader's recent activities, imply the refusal rather than specifically state it, suggest an alternative, and use a polite close.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Managers may get requests for recommendations from other employers and from past employees. When sending refusals to other employers who have requested information about a former employee of yours, your message can be brief and direct.
